A Thrilling ADVENTURE.
In which a County OnIcial Loses His
Dignity and His Coat. but Saves
Himself

Last Friday Chas. :. Martin, and
DIR. Bowers, of Ohio, were quietly
seated on a bench In the shady yard
in front Of the court house, coats and
hats of, enjoying the cool northern
breeze, little dreaming that des.ruc-
ton was on their track. At the same
time Steve kOuns was driving a
bunch Of cattle past the court house,
when an angered COW left the herd.
and spying the two gentlemen on
the bench, made for them at high
rate Of speed, with her horns down
ready for an attack. But the eagle
eye Of the Register quickly caught
onto the situation, and made a rush
for the open door OF the court house,
the digniiied, but scared doctor in
close pursuit. The COW never looked.
up until she struck the place where
her supposed victims were, and find
ing them gone, devoted her attack
ON DR.. Bowers coat, which i'm his
hurried departure was left on the
bench. BY this tiIde the windows
aud doors Of the court house were
barred, the spectators OF course all
on the insi le, giving the COW the
unreserved use OF the entire yard.
The doctor as he looked through the
keyhOle, had a splendid chance To
see what he had missed, as his coat
went flying into the air, the infur-
lated COW catching il again As
ID descended. About this time An
drew Jackson came sauntering i'm at
the northeast gate, not knowing any
thing was wrong, leisuTely wended
his way towards the court house.
The COW caught sight Of him, and
for few brief moments the excite
ment was intense, but Andrew sue
ceeded i'm clearing the fence Just
few feet in front Of the COW. Mr..
Kouns and his man rode in on their
horses and got the Infatuated ami
NAL back i'm the herd, but not until |
they were out Of sight did the |
officers throw open their doors and
windows and again breath the free
air Of heaven.

We published Friday a Topeka
special To the Kansas City Journal
purpOrting to have come from Mis-
souri, Pacific officials Of that city,
stating that all Missouri Pacific
branches except the GeneseO line,
would at once be abandoned, al
least for the present. In speaking
with Mr.. Realty this morning on
this subject, he said that there was
no Missouri Pacific Office in Topeka,
except his own, and that his stenO-
grapher was the only Missouri Pa
cifie official in the city, 80 the afore-
said information could not have
come from any very elevated OF re-
liable source. He also said that In
letter from Mr. Clark which he re-
ceived yesterday, instructions we're
given i'm regard 10 proceeding with
the work on their different branches,
and no iutimation OF abandoning
any Of the lines In regard TO the
line he said he thought il
wOuld be built, but that they had
more time on that line than on some
others, and hence were not in such
a hurry to commence operations.

The present age will be curiously
marked in history as period when
dress and beauty came prominently to
the front. The literature of dress dur
ing the last ten years, if collected,
would form an imposing collection.
The beauty craze has revolutionized
society. Among its consequences may
be noted the fact that girls have gone
out of fashion. Twenty-seven is the
correct age just now. "Sweet seven
teen" is hopelessly demodee. The re-
suit is vast increase in the amount OF
hypocrisy practiced in society. No
girl ever wanted to stop at II, even
when it was most in favor. But every
woman now remains 27 until even her
own familiar looking-glass begins to
speak in the odious language of per-
feet candor, Mrs. Haweis, in her book
on dress, recommends women always
carefully to choose their background.
This would be good advice, were it
practicable. But one cannot carry
about ones background with one, 1t
would be costly to ones self and incon-
venient to ones friends. A better
plan for keeping on good terms with
ones self, so long as one remains at
81, is to fit up a looking-glass in q Sc
ductively tiattering manner. A pink
silk blind should always subdue still
further the mellowness of the daylight.
Wax candles with pink shades should
Le the only means of illumination
when daylight dies; and if there are
only enough of these satisfactory tot
let may be made and ones pet delu-
sion remain undisturbed. Other mir
rors, less pleasantly placed, should be
carefully avoided.

Just What the Boy Needed.

Side by side in the waiting-room of
the Third street passenger station
yesterday sat nervous little woman
and a tall, melancholy man. The
woman had boy about seven years of
age who seemed to be possessed of an
evil spirit. He wouldn't sit nor stand
still. He didn't want apples nor candy.
He couldn't be coaxed or bribed to be-
have himself, and his kicking and
whining seemed to wear the little
woman out. The melancholy man
stood it for awhile, but finally felt
called upon to observe:
Madam, know what that child is
aching forP"
eyes, so do l." she promptly
answered, "but I've boil on my right
armp'
"Tll take the job off your hands if
you say so. It's sumthin' I've been
in the habit of doing almost every day
of my life, for I've had three wives and
three sets of children"
The boy sat up an extra howl and
began kicking her shins just then, and
she looked around in helpless way
and said:
"Well you may try. Not too vigorous,
but just vigorous enough"
He reached over and picked the child
up and laid him across his knee, and
the spanking machine started off at
about forty revolutions minute and
worked to a charm.
"There-you sot there!" said the
old man as he Strengthened the boy up
and sat him down.
That's better than all the candy
and peanuts in the country, and you'll
behave yourself for the next three
days"
The boy blubbered softly and sat still
and when the mother bowed hel
gratitude the old man replied:
"Oh, don't mention it. It's the best
medicine in the world. Besides, was
bit lonesome to-day, and it has sort
O cheered me up."-DetroI Free Press

Eating SnaNs.

New Orleans is the largest consumer
of snails in this country. They are
first thrown into hot. water, says a
Southern epicure, and killed. Then
they are washed in a weak solution OF
lye, which removes the slime, and the
shells are cleaned with stronger lye.
Then the meats are boiled and re-
placed in the shells, with dressing of
bread and parsley, and thus prepared
the snails are roasted. When the
covers are removed from the dish one
must eat the sBails whether one likes
them or not, the flavor is SO enebant-
ing. They can be eaten in two ways
The meat can be picked out with
fork, or the shell may be put to the
mouth and the snail sucked out bodily.
